tsunamis in southeast asia, political upheaval in the ukraine, chaos with the airlines in the US and a partridge in a pear tree. not exactly the most calm of holiday seasons, but then....when is it ever calm? even if things do seem calm-ish in the world, you know that in households across the world there are a plethora of family dramas keeping up holiday tradition. personally, i'm pretty content down here in north carolina. we got our first ice - then snow storm of the season and aside from the slippery roads, it's really quite beautiful. the sun came out this morning and turned the icy treetops into illusions of glowing silver branches. i'm even feeling pretty content and rather excited about the fact that i have a new sister. born yesterday afternoon under the guise of a full moon, Leah Marie Terry came into this world at just over 8 pounds. I have to admit that I'm a little befuddled at the fact of it and not quite sure how to be a big sister to someone who's nearly 28 years younger than I am. But all the same, she's family and considering the condition of the world right now, she's going to need all the help she can get.
p.s. Happy Kwanzaa!
